Nebraska, 2J; Ames, 17.
Battlln to the very end the gridiron
warrlori from" Ames wore forced to go
down to glorttus defeat Saturday afternoon
at Diets park before the sturdy Corn
busker from the University of Nebraska
who won the same In the last three min
utes of play.
With the score a tie and the bn!l In th
center of the field and but three minutes
to pfay "Pip" Cooke, the doughty little
quarterback of the Cornhuskers who has
beon out of the game for three weeks, part
of which time he has been (n the hospital
with blood poison from an Injured foot,
broke lose from the entire Amos aggrega
. tlon And dodging hither and tWther, shaking
off the hug tacklers of the Ames team as
though they were so many ftles, carried
tpe, ball from Ames -43 yard line to within
three yards of Anva goal where he waa
forced out of bounds. The score was 17 to
17 and something desperate had to be done.
The' footers Were praying for ' a second
Johnny Bender who could break loose when
the emergency required and win' the game
by his own Individual efforts. Nebraska
had a Johnny .Bender in the game when he
was needed and It proved to , be Cooke.
Bentley had been playing quarter and
lng some magnificent work, but the time
was critical and. although In no shape to
yflay. King Cole, the famous tackle from
r Michigan who Is coaching the Cornhuskers
sent Cooke Into the frav with ten minutes
yet to play and Cooke delivered the goods.
Game la a Real Oae.
The, game was the most magnificent ever
seen In the west. The crowd was the great
est ever gathered to a similar event in the
Missouri .valley.. . The field was absolutely
perfect. The stands were Mgh and strong
and seated by actual count 4,000 people.
I Tha arrangements for handling the crowd
could not have been Improved upon, all the,
speoHtors could see the entire game and
officials did their work well and the game
w-wt cne long to be remembered by the
7,000 i lovers of of the great, college sport
who- filled Diets park to witness the big
gest football battle in the west this year.
Tempi took the place of Kroger and was
replaced by EHursen, who had been doing
splendid work. Cooke replaced Bentley, but
that was a case of - the real article being
called Into the game when something des
perate had to be done. Bentley had been
playing a flue game and had showed good
Judgment In the pinches, but Cooke was
needed for the long run which was to win
the game and he delivered the goods.
Crowd Waa Magalfleeat.
The crowd. It waa magnificent. Never had
uch a crowd of enthusiasts gathered In
the west to witness a foot ball battle.
Qlant stands had been reared at Diets
park, with solid banks of humanity and
colors. The sight waa Indeed thrilling. On
the north waa stationed the Ames rooters
and on the south Nebraska. The stands
seated 4,00 people. Boxes In front held 600
more and the entire field was lined several
deep with lovers of the game. In front of
the college sections were the cadet bands
from each school and these led in the songs
and played the airs so doar to the collegi
an's heart.
It was not. all a Nebraska crowd which
Ames had to play before. Although a little
late in arriving the Ames contingent made
a splendid showing and In the crowd were
over 1,000 wearing the colors of Ames. The
yellmasters in front of the stands kept
the yells in unison and Nebraska would
lng a defiant song at Ames and the
Ames students would come right back with

MINOR. NEBRASKA HALFBACK.
The Diets club deserves praise for the way
the game was managed.
From a spectacular point of view- the
game could not have been Improved -upen.
The new .rules forced plenty of kicking and
both teams showed their skill time and
again in the use of the' forward pass which
the new rules permit. There was plenty
of kicking and the bull was sent whining
through the air many times. To a man
who was not familiar with the rules of
foot ball the game was most attractive
and the occasion was glorious to those who
saw Ames lose In the last few minutes of
play. ,
V Wild Play Important Part.
A hard wind swept from the went,
lengthwise of the field, and It was a cu
rious fact that of the seven touchdowns
whlch were made all were scored over
the east goal line. It almost seemed
that with the open game the stile having
the wind and sun to assist was aure to
M rfrore sooner or later. The advantage lay
In Captain Harvey winning the toaj and
then Nebraska's last touchdown being
Diade with too short a space of time for
Ames to again even matters. Nebraaka
made the first score In 18 minutes of
play and. from that time to the finish it
was a battle of glanta with everything
practically even except the advantage of
the wind. There Ts no discounting the
Ames team for Ames has a real foot ball
team. The Lambert brothers, playing
half and fll are a pair hard to beat.
Hubbard, the running mate of the Lam
berts is apeedy and hard to down and all
the Ames players tackle aure and hard. Aa
a defensive player Captain Law- waa a
tower of strength. Ames showed that
it had a magnificently trained team and
during the 70 minutes of hard gruelling
work not a man was taken from the
game on the Amea side and time was
Aken out but once. Ames was weakened
CAPTAIN HARVEY, NEBRASKA'S '
RIGHT END.
Ames rooters was a Mttle late In arriving
and Nebraska had scored the first touch
down before the Ames band, followed by
the students, came upon the field. The
Iwkiiu aiaticu i iiiubiu iraivia 1 t. na lain;
on the field and It was but a short time
before the Ames team, cheered by the band
and the yells of the late students, carried
the ball across the Nebraska goal line for
a touchdown. SI Lambert missed the goal,
which left the score to 6 In favor of Ne
braska, but . the Ames team had shown
that it had real ability and .that the battle
was not yet won by Nebraska. ,
Omaha has been working hard to have
the' Nebraska team -play - onr of its big
games in this city,' and the game of yes
terday ' practically Insures a big annual
game in Omaha. ' Both teams were loud in
their, praise of everything; connected, with
the game and especially of the treatment
they received at the hands of the Omaha
public. Lincoln never had such a crowd
to a foot ball game, although the people
have been educated up to first class foot
ball. The management of both teams was
more than pleased with the grand outpour
ing of foot ball enthusiasts, and both re
turned home with their pockets bulging
with the receipts of the game, which will
materially help the exchequers of both
teams.
Foot ball in the stage of its highest de
velopment was witnessed, and nothing but
words of praise were heard on all sides
after the grfme. The doubt of the outcome
until the last few minute of play kept the
'audience keyed up to the highest pitch.
The wind and the sun on the west were
two prominent factors in the soorlng.
and the team with that advantage had the
edge which, in time, brought the score. The
open style of play made a decided hit on
the spectators and long runs added Interest
all the way through. The old style of
line plunging entirely was a thing of the
past, and there was scarcely two minutes
of play but what some fleet-footed player
was loose for a long run or trying to get
loose, or when some new-styled play was
being tried. The requirements of ten yards
to each three downs forces the captains to
be ingenious and to work out some plays
on which there Is a chance for a long run
and that is what the spectators were treated
to yesterday.

ousness that has been brough about by
getting accustomed to automobile traffic.
The recent pathflndlng trip of Donald
Mcintosh of Cleveland and Fred L. tstey
of Chicago, through Mlnnesots, with a
view .to locating a possible route for next
year's GUdden tour, has tlrred many
southern clubs to action, and there prom
ises to be a merry war for the tour before
spring arrives.
Chicago park officials are even more
particular about the cars that enter the
city playgrounds than those of New York.
On a recent afternoon 100 policemen, put at
park and boulevard entrances, turned away
over SO0 oars, either because they wero
unwashed and dirty, because they dripped
oil, or because they emitted offensive ex
haust. Under the rules adopted by the Congress
of Recognlxed Automoble clubs, which met
recently In Paris, the slsa of the engines
and weight of car which enter big racing
events next year will be considerably re
duced. Four cylinder motors cannot have
bores exceeding 6 Inches, while the mini
mum weight of cars waa lowered to 1,W4
pounds.
rJfinprrad''ll TroaJoaat
Dartmouth's victory over Princeton waa
all the more gratifying In view of the de
feat of ten years ago, when the Tiger
gamboled all over the Green. Another
good result of Dartmouth's prowess will
be the stimulus given to raising of funds
for a new gymnasium, which funds are to
be in the nature of a popular subscription
from alumni all over the country. Ono of
the features of the trophy room will be
the carving of subscribers' nsmes on spe
cially prepared bricks, thus making a last
ing monument for the loyal sons of "Old
Dartmouth." The victory over Princeton,
In the opinion of local alumni, means a
like victory over Harvard on Saturday next.
These victories' mean much not only to
Nebraska alumni, but to clean athletes
everywhere, since the scholarship rule is
strictly enforced among the wearers of
the green.

Kansas.
' Kansas State Agricultural, II; Crelgh-
ton, 0.
Playing It pony back field against th
heavy Jayhawk "Aggtea," . Crelghto uni
versity was bumbled to defeat yesterday
through two drop kick and on touchdown.
Except for a brief period In the second
half the local eleven wa on the defensive,
and at no time seriously threatened th
Kansas goal.
The contest, particularly' In the first halt.
waa on of those game In which on ex
pect to see the losing team simply Immo
lated, but as Kansas lost chanes after
chance to score for one reason or another,
the conclusion finally cam that Crelghton
wa not to be wiped off the map after all.
In the second half, when heavier back
were playing, the contest waa much more
even and Kansas waa unable to make first
down and again, aa In the first part of tho
game. -
The Kansas eleven may not be quite a
heavy as wa claimed,' but It I a beefy ag
gregation, nevertheless, and the backfleld
1 speedy. Speer, on a.kickoff after a goal
from drop kick, ran seventy yard through
the Crelghton team,' th sprint being th
prettiest seen at the Vinton Street gridiron
this year. He ha the correct Idea of open
field running, dashing past hi man and
never slowing up In attempt to dodge. He
thus flashed past tackier after tackier and
wa only brought down by th Creight-u
fullback.
Forward Pass TJnaaeeeaafnl.
Crelghton tried the forward pass with
out much success in the second, halt and
showed either a lack of coaching on this
play or else inherent Inability to make th
most of the trick. While Kansas mad
soma good gain by th same play. Bates,
the, quarterback, elected to try the on-sld
kick more frequently, and thla did not al
ways result successfully. v
At straight foot ball Kansas excelled, th
heavier weight In the line telling consid
erably In Its favor In this matter. There
were not more than the usual two or three
debates over rule In the game, but an
unusual Incident occurred when Bowlby,
Kansas' left end, wa disqualified for slug
ging. Kansss was also penalised half th
distance to Its goal line, th amount being
thirty-five yards.
Dro Kick In Flv mantes.
A drop kick by Bates flv minute after
play started made the first score, and a
touchdown by Christian later In th half
made It to 0.-. The other score cam 'in
the second part of th gam on another
drop kick.
Kansas lost three opportunities for other
score In the first half, once through fall
ing to make the distance, onoe on a fum
bled forward pas and once when an on
slde kick was injudiciously tried. In th
second half they were several time within
the twenty-yard line, but were now unable
to gain consistently.
Crelghton' defensive work wa better In
this half, due in part to the heavier back-
field and in part to the vigorous remarks
submitted by th coaches during the Inter
mission. One fine point cam up for th
referee to decide In this section of th
game. A Kansas man, trying to catch an
on-slde kick, held it for a perceptible
period of time, then fumbled Jt when ex
actly on the sideline. A Crelghton man
fell on It. Kansas claimed that the ball
had been In Its possession when It went out
of bound and should be given th visitor.
The ruling, and probably the correct one,
wae the other way.
Changes In lineup were frequent at th
beginning of the second half, and through
it and except Maglrl and one or two other
disabled Crelghtonltes, nearly all th most
available subs were given a chance. As a
curtain-raiser, the Crelghton third team
played South Omaha Hlgn school and won.
